Thanks. I do think it's weird that there's no sign of it on the AS News page anymore. For a few minutes it was still showing as a banner on the front page, with the link going to a page-not-found error. Then the banner got pulled.

Anyway... in regard to the tag. Interesting. It really rises and falls on the self-serve scale and drop-off counter. If that doesn't work well, then the value is diminished. Being able to skip the counter altogether would be nice.

Also, I'd rather have an app enhancement that shows me where my bag was last scanned. That could be an universal enhancement, unrelated to electronic tags. I don't want to say that such an enhancement would be "easy," but I think it probably would have been a better use of R&D dollars.

Guesses on cost? $5/tag? $10/tag? More?
